One Minute After The Pretribulation Rapture Of The Church, The Bible Becomes A Closed Book For Those Left Behind

The people left behind after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church
are boxed in on all sides. They can't understand the Bible, there are no
Christians to witness to them, and God sends them a strong delusion to
guarantee they will fall for a lie.  This is the famine for hearing the
word of God that Amos saw, and it is truly terrifying.

One minute after the
Pretribulation Rapture takes place, a worldwide famine will instantly
transpire. It won’t be a famine of food, it will be a famine of not
being able to have the word of God.

“Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the
land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the
words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the
north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of
the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.” Amos 8:11-13 (KJV)

The Bible doctrine of the Pretribulation Rapture
is so entrenched in Scripture that it’s not only in the New Testament,
it’s also in the Old Testament as well. Enoch, living before both the
Flood of Noah and before the Law of Moses is a type of a Christian who
never sees death and is translated directly to Heaven in his own private
rapture. In Song of Solomon 2:8-10
(KJV), we read the glorious story of the Bride, a type of the Church,
being called “up and away” by her Beloved, who is “looking down” through
the lattice work from up above.

But one minute after
this amazing event takes place, a worldwide famine will instantly
transpire. It won’t be a famine of food, it will be a famine of not
being able to have the word of God. Those are the verses we quoted at
the very top of this article. Go back and read them again, and let it
sink it.

Amos is one of my favorite OT prophets,
God gives him an amazing set of revelations and visions. Historically,
Amos was a peer with Hosea, and he came after Joel. He prophesied
judgment on Israel at the hands of the Assyrian army, which absolutely
came to pass. But if all Amos has to say was simply an accounting of God
judging Israel, it would have limited application for us today. But the
prophecy of Amos, like most prophecy, has a double application. It
applied to the Israel then, and it will apply to Israel in the time of
Jacob’s trouble, after the Rapture of the Church.

WHO ARE THE 144,000 SERVANTS OF GOD IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?

Back in March, we did an article entitled “The Book Of Amos Reveals Amazing Insight Into The Time Of Jacob’s Trouble And The Battle Of Armageddon“,
and it would behoove you to take a moment and read it now if you have
not already done so. Today, I want to bring to your attention another
aspect of what life in the time of Jacob’s trouble will be like.

And it’s not a pretty picture.

One minute after the Rapture of the Church takes place, the entire Body of Christ is removed from off the Earth and taken to meet Jesus in the clouds, as we see here:

“For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain
unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are
asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead
in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord
in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one
another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 (KJV)

Comforting words indeed, for us, but what about for those left behind?

After the Church is removed,
the Bible becomes a closed Book. I say this because even though the
world will still be filled with Bibles, physically, there will not
remain even one person anywhere on the globe who can understand it. No
one. The unsaved or “natural man” is not capable of understanding God’s
word because they don’t have the Holy Spirit in them.

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV)

IF YOU’RE LEFT BEHIND AFTER THE PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH, YOU MAY NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO GET SAVED

The God-approved method of unsaved sinners getting saved
and learning the Bible has always been through the ministry of already
saved Christians who know the Bible. We see this illustrated beautifully
in Acts 8 with the salvation of the Ethiopian eunuch.

“And Philip ran thither to him,
and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou
what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide
me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The
place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to
the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not
his mouth:…Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same
scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.” Acts 8:30-32,35 (KJV)

The eunuch has Phillip sent to him by God for Bible study, but one minute after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, all the ‘Phillips’ will be gone. Movies like Left Behind and others
like to show people who, after realizing thier loved ones were taken in
the Rapture, picking up theirs Bibles to read them and get saved. But
how can they do that if there are no more saved Christians in the world
to teach them the Bible? Not only that, Paul says that people who reject
the gospel of the grace of God in the days before the Rapture of the
Church get tagged with the “strong delusion” so they believe the lie of
Antichrist instead of the truth. Don’t believe me? Read it:

“And
then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with
the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his
coming: Even him, whose coming is after the
working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with
all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they
received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for
this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe
a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but
had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 (KJV)

See that?
The people left behind are boxed in on all sides. They can’t understand
the Bible, there are no Christians to witness to them, and God sends
them a strong delusion to guarantee they will fall for a lie.

“Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the
land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the
words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the
north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of
the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.” Amos 8:11-13 (KJV)

This is the famine for hearing the word of God that Amos saw, and it is truly terrifying.

My soul thrills whenever I think about
the coming Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, and what a glorious
moment that shall be. But when I think about what life will be like for
those left behind, it becomes heartbreaking to contemplate. Imagine
people’s very souls drying up because there won’t be any nourishment
from the Bible to feed them, and worse, there won’t even be the chance
that they will somehow “figure it out”.

God in His mercy sends the 144,000 Witnesses
to teach and preach the Bible one last time, and to open people’s eyes
to the truth one last time. But oh, at what a price does it finally
come. You have to successfully resist taking the Mark, resist
worshipping the image or name of the Antichrist, and if you are found
with a Bible you are put to death immediately. Whew! No thank you,
please have me excused from that mess.

Job, a type of the Jews in the time of Jacob’s trouble, said that the word of God was more than his “necessary food” in Job 23:12 (KJV).

Feast on it while you still can.

The True Identity Of Melchizedek The King Of Salem As Revealed In The King James Bible • Now The End Begins

The True Identity Of Melchizedek The King Of Salem As Revealed In The King James Bible

We first meet Melchizedek in the book of Genesis at something called
the Battle of the Kings. This where Lot was captured and his uncle Abram
(God had not yet changed his name) goes to get him back. I love this
passage because you get to see the fire in Abraham, mounting up on
horses and calling his army of servant-soldiers together and they go and
bring Lot back by military might. This is where things really get
interesting.

by Geoffrey Grider July 30, 2017

The
righteous “king of Salem” who is presented in mystery, Melchizedek,
will one day rule openly as the King of all the Earth for a thousand
literal, actual years from Jerusalem.

“And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram
of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the
most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he
gave him tithes of all.” Genesis 14:18-20 (KJV)

For some reason,
over my years in Baptist churches, whenever you brought up the subject
of who Melchizedek might be, it always seem to upset people. Most
pastors I knew would shy away from the topic because it might cause
“controversy”. (oh no, not that!). And come to think of it, I cannot
recall a single sermon devoted to who Melchizedek might be.

So I thought it might be both fun and edifying if today we opened the pages of God’s preserved word, the King James Bible,
to see if perhaps the LORD might talk to my Lord, and be pleased to
reveal to us the true identity of the mysterious Melchizedek. With that,
I have already given you Clue #1 as to who Melchizedek is.

The Mysterious King of Salem and Abraham meet

We first meet Melchizedek in the book of Genesis at something called the Battle of the Kings. This where Lot was captured and his uncle Abram (God had not yet changed his name)
goes to get him back. I love this passage because you get to see the
fire in Abraham, mounting up on horses and calling his army of
servant-soldiers together and they go and bring Lot back by military
might. This is where things really get interesting.

As Abraham returns from rescuing the wayward Lot,
he is met primarily by two kings. First, the king of Sodom, where we
get the words sodomite and sodomy from, greet Abraham, and also someone
named Melchizedek, who is the king of Salem.

Abraham wants nothing
to do with the king of Sodom, and gives him a fairly harsh rebuke. But
shockingly, Abraham, upon meeting Melchizedek, pays him tithes of all he
had. For further light on this, the story goes into detail in the book
of Hebrews, as we read here:

“For
this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met
Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To
whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by
interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem,
which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, without
descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made
like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Now consider how
great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.” Hebrews 7:1-4 (KJV)

As you read the description of Melchisedec (spelling in Hebrews is different because it’s written in Greek),
who does this man sound like to you? He has no mother, no father, no
‘beginning of days’ and he is made like unto the ‘Son of God’, Jesus
Christ. Sure sounds like Hebrews is describing Jesus to me, right? Well,
hold on now. Not so fast.

Hebrews says that Melchisedec is “like unto” the Son of God, it does not say he is
the Son of God. For this reason, a lot of pastors I think shy away from
preaching about Melchisedec/Melchizedek because, even though he looks a
lot like Jesus, and Abram/Abraham pays him tithes like he would pay
unto God, the Bible does not expressly say that Melchizedek actually is
Jesus Christ. Right?

Boy oh boy, if only there was a verse or two or three, or seven, that plainly said Melchizedek and Jesus Christ were one and the same. Oh wait! (insert sound of screeching brakes here), what about Psalm 110?

Psalm 110, though only 7 verses long, is a marvelously mind-blowing passage for all the scripture it packs into it.

There is so much Bible action happening here,
almost don’t know where to start first. So let’s start with verse 1. My
King James Bible says that Psalm 110 is a ‘Psalm of David’, so we know
who wrote it. It would behoove you to also recall as we start that when
Jesus returns at the Second Coming with us on horseback, the Bible says
He sits on the ‘throne of David’.

“[[A Psalm of David.]] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” Psalm 110:1 (KJV)

In verse 1, we see the fully-capitalized Name of LORD
that denotes God the Father, and the capital-L Name of Lord, which
denotes God the Son, Jesus Christ. They are talking with each other and
having a conversation related to the Battle of Armageddon at the Second
Coming.

“The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.” Psalm 110:2,3 (KJV)

For you Bible believers who are ‘rightly dividing’ on a regular basis, this immediately brings to mind the following sister passages connecting this to Jesus Christ.

“The
LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem;
and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16 (KJV)

“And
he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from
Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top
of Carmel shall wither.” Amos 1:2 (KJV)

Connecting all these passages proves
that it is God the Father and God the Son conversing in Psalm 110, and
it also shows you that God the Father and God the Son are one in the
same. Both Joel and Amos prophesy regarding the Second Coming, and both
refer to Jesus as LORD, a term for God the Father. Blissful harmony.

But what about Melchizedek? Glad you asked. Back to Psalm 110 where we pick up the action here:

“The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.” Psalm 110:4 (KJV)

Here we have God the Father,
talking to His Son Jesus, and saying that He Jesus is a high priest
“for ever” after the order of Melchizedek. So are we to understand that
Jesus is just a high priest in this mysterious priestly line? No, we are
not. After all, Jesus came first:

“Who
is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For
by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in
earth, visible and invisible, whether they bet hrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him,
and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things
consist.” Colossians 1:15-17 (KJV)

Let’s pause for a moment and remember where we started.
Psalm 110 show God the Father discussing the Battle of Armageddon with
God the Son, and it is recorded by the king of Israel, David. Let us
also remind ourselves how David and Jesus, two kings, are connected in
the Millennial Kingdom.

“And in
mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth
in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting
righteousness.” Isaiah 16:5 (KJV)

“And,
behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and
shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the
Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of
his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever;
and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Luke 1:31-33 (KJV)

The throne that Jesus Christ will rule from
during the earthly Millennial Kingdom is called the ‘throne of David’.
David is a man after ‘God’s own heart’. Jesus will rule the world in
righteousness as David ruled Israel.

Psalm 110 gives of a complete picture
of God the Father sending God the Son, Jesus, to rule the Earth from
the throne of David. David is a witness to this conversation as he
writes Psalm 110, prophesying that one Day Jesus, his Lord, will rule
from his own throne.

Melchizedek is none other than Jesus Christ,
and the “order of Melchizedek” is a holy lineage that connects David and
Jesus, and shows us a direct pathway that starts in judgment and war in
Genesis 14, and ends in judgment and war in Revelation 19.

Still not convinced? Let’s let Jesus have the last word:

“And
Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the
scribes that Christ is the Son of David? For David himself said by the
Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I
make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore himself calleth him
Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.” Mark 12:35-37 (KJV)

Jesus Christ sits on the right hand of God right now,
and the Day where His enemies are made “his footstool” is the Battle of
Armageddon at the Second Coming. And the throne that Jesus is given is
the throne of David. And the righteous “king of Salem” who is presented
in mystery, Melchizedek, will then rule openly as the King of all the
Earth for a thousand literal, actual years from Jerusalem. The day that
the King of Peace actually brings peace to the City of Peace, on David’s
throne. Complete harmony.

We hope this study is a blessing to you, keep looking up!
